Can I really drink beer during my spa treatments?
Absolutely! You can relax in your private Beer Therapy™ Room while enjoying a Spice Trade Brewing beer. The only place we ask that you not take your beverage is the Relaxation Lounge, where you can enjoy a Zero Gravity Massage.
What spa services do you offer anyways?
We aren’t your traditional day spa and offer unique services, including the Beer Bath Hydrotherapy, Infrared Sauna, and Zero Gravity Massage.
Your private Beer Therapy™ Room has a relaxation deck, rain shower, infrared sauna, and cedar hydrotherapy tub.
Oakwell Beer Spa also has group and party spa day packages.
How does the self-serve beer wall work?
One of the most unique features at Oakwell Beer Spa is the self-serve beer wall.
You can enjoy as much or little beer as you’d like by following these simple steps:
- When you arrive, you’ll get a card you can scan to unlock the taps on the beverage wall.
- Browse the rotating selection of Spice Trade Brewing beers. You’ll also find wine and cider. On the beer wall, you’ll see tasting notes and the price per ounce for each drink.
- Choose your beverage, scan your card, and pour any amount you’d like.
- When you’re ready to check out, you can take your card to the reception desk to pay for the ounces poured.
Can I just stop by for a beer without a spa treatment?
Please do! We invite anyone to stop by and enjoy a beverage, whether you have an appointment or not. Our cozy taproom oasis is an excellent space to kick back, unwind, and have a drink or a few.
Does Oakwell Beer Spa have anything else to drink besides beer?
Yes, we offer a selection of beverages. We know beer is everyone’s thing, or sometimes you’re in the mood for something else. That’s why we also have wine, cider, tea, and kombucha.
Can I hang out in the taproom before and after my treatments?
Of course! Guests are welcome to hang out in the taproom. Feel free to come early and/or stay after your spa treatments.
